There are two images for seated Lincoln. They were both used across the small date and the Large Date.
An arm that doesn't extend to the right edge of pillar column, with a wider chair side, and an arm that has space from the piller and a thinner chair.
The first two pictures are PCGS small date Denver.
The next two are to from my bank box.
What makes you know it stayed the same die is the left side of the chair is still doubled. When the new right armrest width and new hand extending to the very end. So it WAS modified from the same doubled left chair. The line doubling outside of the new right side has a perfect crescent bend to it as if the reduction arm was going around that size of circle at that time creating this new hub.
What we do know is the doubled left chair stayed on the old thinner farther arm and the new wider closer arm touching the edge. That proves an image change, and now there is doubling that exhibits a reduction circle. That's how a modified hub doubled die is possible. They are out there, I just found 2 in my bank box of 1960D LD cents, about 5 boxes were auctioned on EBay just before Christmas.
